Given that George spent seventy percent of his saving to buy a camera at the given cost, his original savings was $820.
How much did George originally have in savings?
Given that;
- George spent 70 % of his saving to buy a camera.
- Cost of the camera is $574
- George's original savings = ?
Lets represent George's original savings by y.
Hence,70% of the saving equals $574
70% × y = $574
70/100 × y = $574
7/10 × y = $574
7y/10 =$574
We cross multiply
7y =$5740
y = $5740 / 7
y = $820
Given that George spent seventy percent of his saving to buy a camera at the given cost, his original savings was $820.
